LAWYERIN' IN NEWFIELD TOWN COURT
(DWI and CRIMINAL cases)
I'm in Newfield on a regular basis. The Court is in the NEWFIELD TOWN HALL building on the bottom floor. Upstairs are town offices etc.
Judge Becker is a relatively new Judge. She used to be a clerk in this court. April Watkins is a good clerk and is very nice when you need something.
Make sure you do not park in the very back of the Court (right up against the building) because this area is reserved for police when they bring in prisoners.
Be sure to sign in at the clerk's window when you arrive for your case... They take cases by order you signed in, so get there early.

*SPECIAL NOTE FOR DWI CASES:
This particular Court has some subtle nuances that require somebody who really specializes in DWI law. If you don't have a DWI specialist, some important things could easily get missed in your case... [I cannot be more specific than that]
